Coulthard and Buxton discuss Lawson's uncertain 2027 future

In a video episode of Up to Speed, hosts Will Buxton and David Coulthard examined Liam Lawson's position at Racing Bulls. Lawson started third in Brazil and scored enough points on his own to place the team fifth in the standings, yet he still has no confirmed seat for next year.

The pair debated what more Lawson needs to prove and whether the team should instead turn to young talent such as Nikola Tsolov. The discussion widened to Red Bull's feeder team advantage, the career paths of junior drivers and the pressure on those competing for a place on the grid.

They also touched on driver contracts, team honour, racing in wet conditions and FIA leadership.
